山萩[Yamahagi] Lespedeza bicolor

Hagi is one of the seven autumnal grasses and is a seasonal word for autumn in the haiku world. In reality, the flowering season is from about June to September, and strictly speaking, its season word also refers to "early" autumn.

The tree in the photo is in a low mountain range where I sometimes go in search of flowers, and it produced flowers little by little around summer in previous years. But not so this year, and I did not see any of them at that time.

However, when I went out a couple of days ago, it was in full bloom. This summer was extremely hot, and that may have had an impact.

These flowers, which had been brightly decorating a part of the thicket, somewhat seemed to have deepened in color.

Tadaima, Okaeri Ep 12 (Finale) Stray Thoughts

Last week, Mochizuki accidentally ran into Hiromu, but didn't piece together that he was Masaki's husband. Later, while in heat, he and Hiromu reacted to each other and both felt embarrassed. Hiromu remained polite, but Mochizuki was upset and left with Michiru, saying they would never be back. However, our hero Hikari is expecting to see his friend, so we're gonna fix it.

Hikari is being so brave and not falling apart.

I get Hiromu. It's hard to care too much about what everyone thinks.

It's the last episode! Are Yuki and Matsuo going to figure it out?

Okay, we confirmed that Yuki is a beta.

I adore Yuki so much. He just wants to help.

It really is a good summation of the core themes of this show that even buying into the stereotypes and presumptions is harmful for those on the worse end of it.

He took the present!

I love how much their circle has grown. Masaki thought he'd be alone his whole life, and now he's got to cook a huge spread for everyone.

Hikari remains so adorable until the end.

Oh no, the twins both want Mochizuki.

Final Verdict: 10, This Is The Married Gay Dads Show I Didn't Know I Needed. This show was so delightful for 12 amazing weeks. We got to see two guys who faced a difficult path to be together build a home and family they could love together. It was so joyous to see two men in love with each other, and have that love grow even more because they got to be parents together. There are some really solid themes about acceptance and healing from rejection in this that are handled with such care that I will never stop thinking about this show. If omegaverse isn't a hard no for you, this is the best show you've ever skipped if you care about what married queer joy looks like.

Tadaima Okaeri Episode 1 Review - The Fujiyoshi Family

It’s here! It’s here! Ah! My most anticipated show for this season is finally here! It’s the first ever omegaverse anime! Before I get into the review, I’ll inform you of two things:

If this reminds you of Gakuen Babysitters, you are perceptive! The character designer for this anime, Mina Owada, did the character designs for Gakuen Babysitters. The three kids in this anime are all voiced by voice actresses who were in the anime too with Hikari, the black-haired baby being voiced by Atsumi Tanezaki who voiced Kazuma Mamizuka and Kirin’s mother, Yayoi Kumatsuka, Michiru, the brown haired boy being voiced by Kaede Hondo, who voiced the infant Midori and Ryuichi’s classmate Yuki, and Hinata, the infant girl, voiced by Konomi Kohara who voiced Kirin.

What is Omegaverse? It’s a universe where male and females can be impregnated by those of the same genders, but there are additional sub-genders, alpha, beta and omega. Alpha are the elites, the ones on top of the hierarchy. They excel in anything they do and are considered the favored species in the universe. Beta are ordinary people. Omegas are usually considered inferior because they go into heat cycles, which causes their pheromones to become stronger in order to attract mates, specifically alphas. Males can impregnate other males, females can impregnate females, and in some cases, females can impregnate males in this universe. So yes, Hikari is biologically Masaki and Hiromu’s child and he’s not adopted or born from surrogacy.

Now that you understand the basics, here’s my review of the premiere!

The premiere of the very first omegaverse anime is adorable as heck! You can see there is a soft, sweet and domestic atmosphere in the Fujiyoshi family with Hiromu, the black-haired husband and an alpha, and Masaki, the brown-haired husband and an omega, being the sweetest and happiest couple with their equally adorable son Hikari. The story is just about their daily lives as they deal with being an alpha-omega couple in a world where different sex couples are looked upon unfavorably compared to marriages of the same sex.

The first episode shows the type of world Hiromu and Masaki live in and details of how they dealt with prejudices from how the previous home they lived in discriminated against Masaki to Hiromu’s subordinate being shocked that his boss married someone of a different sex. It can be shown in their behavior too with Masaki being rather self-degrading and timid when these topics are brought up and Hiromu being rather protective of his mate and child because of this. There isn’t a lot of gender drama in this first episode, fortunately. It’s mainly a set-up to how future conflicts will come to them.

Hiromu and Masaki are written to be a couple that has been together for a long time, but still act like newlyweds and it’s adorable. Individually, a lot can be said for both of them too. Hiromu is extremely doting towards Masaki and Hikari and is pretty much Maes Hughes from Fullmetal Alchemist if he was put in a domestic omegaverse setting. Masaki’s personality shows that while he is living a happy life, he still has his fair shares of insecurities and self-doubt due to him being an omega; I can tell that he’s someone who dealt with a lot growing up. Actually, I read the manga (and many times at that), so I know how the story goes!

Hikari is adorable and is a boy growing up with loving parents. As he’s almost two, he’s just a toddler. He’s still blind to the world of omegaverse, but that doesn’t matter as long as his parents, an alpha and omega, are happy. I can tell he will grow up to be a kind and sweet child just from how his parents talk to him and how he behaves around them. He’s legitimately so adorable. I was legit acting like Hiromu during some of his cutest moments here.

Other than the main three characters, there are a few other characters introduced. There’s Matsuo, who is Hiromu’s co-worker and childhood friend who’s like an older brother. He’s the biggest victim of Hiromu’s love life as he’s the one Hiromu shows off his family to the most in picture and video form. There’s the Hirai family who lives next door with the mother who treats Masaki and his family kindly by giving them flowers after complimenting her garden and going along with Hikari’s cute antics. Her son is introduced towards the end, but he won’t be formally introduced until the next episode, so I can’t say much other than he’s not a source of conflict, as you can tell by the opening that he’s going to be involved with Matsuo. There are also Hiromu’s subordinates whose names I don’t know, but the female one with red hair is super cool.

This anime is animated by Studio DEEN, who is practically the go-to studio for BL anime at this point. They animated Junjou Romantica, Sekaiichi Hatsukoi (a personal favorite of mine), Hybrid Child, Sasaki and Miyano and now Tadaima Okaeri. While the studio does get some flack for non-BL anime, you cannot deny their BL animes are some of the visually prettiest of their works by far. I think the animation in general is a step up from their previous works. Look at the scene where Masaki kisses Hiromu’s mole. The way he brushes his hair back was really smoothly animated.

The music is really cute! I am listening to the opening song on repeat! The song is sung by MADKID, a J-pop boy band. I do wonder if they were influenced by K-pop in a way because their song does have a K-pop feel. It reminds me of Seventeen in their rookie days with the refreshing concept. The ending song is also nice to listen to! The froggies being the Fujiyoshi family is a nice little detail!

The voice cast is very strong. Did you know that before the anime, there was a drama CD of Tadaima Okaeri? Well, the cast in the anime have been reprised from the drama CD. Masaki is voiced by Atsushi Tamaru. He’s a BL regular. For non-BL roles, he voices Kunimi from Haikyuu and voiced the stalker dude who stabbed Ai in Oshi no Ko. I love how his voice is so gentle when voicing Masaki. Hiromu is voiced by the one and only BL emperor Toshiyuki Morikawa. He’s practically a household name in the BL world. I love how silly he can be with Hiromu, especially the scenes where he’s gushing over his family. Hikari is voiced by Atsumi Tanezaki. If you’re not familiar with the name, her roles may be familiar to you. She is the voice actress of Anya Forger from Spy x Family and Frieren from Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End. Shocking, right? She did voice Hikari in the drama CD and reprised the role! Tanezaki is seriously a versatile actress as she can voice babies to immortal old elves. Another big name in this cast is Kosuke Toriumi who voices Matsuo. If you’re not aware, Toriumi used to be super active in BL in the past, but not as much recently. Some of his roles in BL includes Haruhiko Usami from Junjou Romantic and Akira from Togainu no Chi. Some of his non-BL roles include Yuri Lowell from Tales of Vesperia, Imaizumi from Yowamushi Pedal and Gilbert from Pandora Hearts. During the drama CD era, I thought Toriumi was a bit of a miscast at first, but now, I think he suits Matsuo well as he gives off the aura of a handsome elite. He doesn’t have to be deep-voiced; instead, the voice makes him sound caring, which he is. Also, the boy introduced at the end of the episode, Yuuki, is voiced by Taku Yashiro. He’s also a regular in BL in recent times. His non-BL roles include Friede from Pokemon Horizons and Spitz from Ron Kamonohashi: Deranged Detective. In all honesty, the voice cast is super strong and they all do an amazing job.

I can’t believe I can look forward to Mondays thanks to Tadaima Okaeri! I just hope the animation stays consistent as well as the cuteness. I can’t wait for Mondays to be my happy days—shocking, I know! If you’re watching this anime, what are your thoughts on the premiere?

Tadaima, Okaeri Episode 5 Review

Photo Source: Tadaima, Okaeri Twitter Promotional Twitter Account

A very yummy salmon sashimi that left me feeling weird

I have to confess something yall. I freaked out on Twitter. After the cold open, when Matsuo was at the Fujiyoshi's, I really thought that Matsuo had actually got engaged or married to Yuki. Like, damn bro, I need to see Matsuo and Yuki dating! They looked so perfect and comfortable together ^^

HOWEVER, as I watched the opening scene again, it turned out that the ring that Matsuo had resided on his middle finger NOT the ring finger haha, Gomen nasai to all my Twitter followers or who read that tweet of mine.

I really don't know what it is with Matsuo and his obsession in teasing Hikari about being an older brother. I mean, the interaction about being the older brother started out fine. Then, Matsuo told Hi-chan about all the responsibilities of being the older brother. He could have just said that it was fun yet you just needed to adjust how you behave in order to teach your younger siblings about the world. Matsuo is something else haha

I was so sad when Hi-chan got a mild fever :(. I'm so glad that Hi-chan and Hina-chan have two dads and they agreed to divide up the attention so none felt like they were abandoned. When Ma-chan told Hi-kun that he had done enough, I cried so hard yall. I really don't know that parents could do that.

You know, loving without harming self-growth, providing space emotionally to grow.

When Matsuo was on a call with Ma-chan, Matsuo needed to apologise because he didn't think that his teasing could have made Hi-chan catch a mild fever, I really wanted to tell Yuki to just discipline his man lol.

Okay, I really need to type carefully about the next subtopic as it's something that needs very thorough research and nuanced perspectives, yet I have time to do neither and I really want to just put it out there. Treatment of Women in the Male-dominated Space within Omegasphere

First of all, I was quite pissed off that Hinata didn't get her own banner. I don't know why yet, it could be that maybe Hinata was just born, and her name was also just recently given - as indicated by the fact that when Fujiyoshi-san was on a call with Hiromu, Fujiyoshi-san still asked Hiromu about Hinata's name. It could be that maybe only firstborns were allowed to have a banner like that. It could also be that Fujiyoshi-san was just reinforcing the old tradition and that he didn't really want to put up the banner with Hinata's name.

Secondly, does any of you remember the scene in Modern Family, when Cam was given breakfast on bed by Mitchell? Cam was hysterical because Mitchell made it seem that Cam was the woman in the relationship.

I mean, homosexual relationships are always confronted by this problem, even by those who were supposed to tolerate us; "who's the man in the relationship?" and most of the time they answer said question by inferring from an answer to the question of "who's the top?"

My point is, that these heterosexual normies seem to always insist that we conform to their gender roles in a relationship, even when we are definitely not a heterosexual couple.

The scene of when Hi-chan was wearing the hat and costume which his grandfather bought for him. I really don't get why Ma-chan needed to stay in another room with Hi-chan's grandmother. I mean, as Ma-chan bore Hikari and Hinata, I guess there was no doubt about who the bottom is. But, Ma-chan is still a man and he seems to still identify as one, so why the forced equivalence?

I HAVE TO STRESS THIS ALSO BEING A CALLED A WOMAN IS NOT AN INSULT. I'm not saying that somehow Ma-chan lost his dignity because he got misgendered, or rather treated misgenderedly. I just don't like that Hi-chan's grandparents seem to only see Hi-chan as their grandchildren's baby incubator, and not as a full man who has a womb. It's such a queer erasure to treat Ma-chan as a woman because it means that Fujiyoshi-san really just sees their son marrying a woman, just with different genitalia, instead of seeing and accepting that their son is in a loving and thriving homosexual relationship.

Thirdly, now, this is why I call this episode a yummy sashimi that made me felt very uneasy. When Hi-chan's grandmother gave Ma-chan her kimono, I cried uncontrollably. Ma-chan even got shy when Hiromu saw him in one, that really warmed my heart. I understand that the scene was supposed to highlight how Fujiyoshi-san really saw Ma-chan as one of their family members. But again, there's a part of me who wants to protest making a Kimono as a gift, but I really have no cultural perspectives as to whether a Kimono could be worn by a man too or not.

All in all, watch it yall, it was so cute. Hi-chan saying bye-bye was EVERYTHING

Why Is Haiku About Nature?

Haiku, the traditional form of Japanese poetry, is renowned for its simplicity, brevity, and deep connection to nature. These three-line poems, typically containing 17 syllables in a 5-7-5 structure, often evoke profound emotions and reflections, and they have become synonymous with capturing the essence of the natural world. But why is it that haiku focuses so much on nature? This article delves into the cultural, historical, and aesthetic reasons why nature has been a central theme in haiku, exploring how the natural world shapes this poetic form and its significance in the broader context of Japanese literature and philosophy.

Historical Context of Haiku and Its Connection to Nature

The origins of haiku can be traced back to the 9th century, though the form as we know it today began to take shape in the 17th century. Haiku evolved from the hokku, the opening stanza of a collaborative linked-verse poem called renga. The hokku set the tone and mood for the rest of the renga, and it was often inspired by seasonal themes and images of nature. As the genre evolved, poets began to experiment with shorter forms, leading to the standalone haiku.

The association of haiku with nature comes from this early tradition of incorporating seasonal references, or kigo, into the poems. These references to nature not only serve as a backdrop but also symbolize deeper meanings and emotions. For example, a reference to a blooming cherry blossom in the spring can evoke feelings of beauty, transience, and renewal, while a mention of falling leaves in autumn can convey themes of impermanence, aging, and death.

In the early days, haiku poets were often monks, scholars, and artists who lived in rural areas and were deeply attuned to the natural world. This close connection with nature influenced the content of their poems. Nature was seen not just as a subject but as a reflection of the human experience—a mirror to the inner emotional landscape.

The Role of Zen Buddhism in Haiku

One of the key influences on the development of haiku and its connection to nature is Zen Buddhism. Zen emphasizes mindfulness, simplicity, and the direct experience of the present moment, all of which are central themes in haiku. The practice of Zen encourages individuals to observe the natural world with an uncluttered mind, appreciating its fleeting beauty without attaching unnecessary thoughts or judgments.

In Zen philosophy, there is a concept known as satori, which refers to a sudden moment of enlightenment or insight. Haiku often aims to capture this kind of moment—a brief but profound realization or perception. The natural world provides a rich source for these moments of clarity, where the simplicity and beauty of nature can prompt a deep sense of understanding or insight.

Many famous haiku poets, such as Matsuo Bashō, were influenced by Zen Buddhism, and their poems reflect this connection. Bashō, in particular, is known for his use of nature to evoke spiritual and emotional states. One of his most famous haiku reads:

An old silent pond… A frog jumps into the pond— Splash! Silence again.

This haiku perfectly captures the Zen ideal of simplicity and mindfulness. The poet presents a moment in nature—an event as ordinary as a frog jumping into a pond—but through this simple act, the poem evokes the stillness and quietude of the world, inviting the reader to experience a fleeting moment of awareness.

Seasonality and the Use of Kigo in Haiku

One of the most distinctive features of haiku is the use of kigo—seasonal words that indicate the time of year and evoke particular feelings or associations. Each season carries its own symbolism in Japanese culture, and these seasonal references are integral to the haiku form.

For example, the word cherry blossom (sakura) is a powerful symbol of spring, evoking images of renewal, fleeting beauty, and the passage of time. In contrast, snow (yuki) is often used in winter haiku to suggest purity, quiet, or coldness. These seasonal references are not merely descriptive; they help to evoke a deeper emotional response from the reader, creating a connection between the natural world and human experience.

The seasonal cycle in haiku reflects the Japanese cultural understanding of the impermanence of life. The changing of the seasons is a constant reminder of the passage of time and the inevitability of change. As the seasons change, so too do the emotional landscapes of human beings. Haiku, by aligning itself with the seasons, becomes a way of capturing these transient moments of beauty and reflection.

The Influence of Nature on Haiku Structure

The structure of haiku itself—three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables—lends itself to the concise expression of nature’s beauty. The brevity of the form forces the poet to distill their thoughts and feelings into the simplest possible expression, which mirrors the way in which nature is often most beautiful in its simplest moments. The act of observing nature through a haiku becomes an exercise in mindfulness—seeing the world with clarity, unburdened by excess.

In a haiku, every syllable counts. The brevity of the form emphasizes the importance of each word and image, much like the way nature is observed in fleeting moments. A sunset may last only a few minutes, but the impression it leaves can stay with us for much longer. Haiku captures this momentary beauty, preserving it in its purest form.

The Aesthetic of Wabi-Sabi in Haiku

Another key aspect of haiku’s connection to nature is the aesthetic of wabi-sabi, a Japanese concept that embraces imperfection, transience, and the beauty of the natural world. Wabi-sabi celebrates the simple, the rustic, and the fleeting nature of life, all of which are reflected in haiku’s focus on nature.

Nature itself is imperfect—leaves fall, flowers wilt, and seasons change. Haiku, in turn, embraces this imperfection and transience, finding beauty in the most ordinary moments. The focus is not on idealized or romanticized images of nature, but rather on the raw, unvarnished moments of life that are often overlooked.

A famous haiku by Bashō illustrates this aesthetic:

On a branch Floating downriver, A cricket sings.

This haiku captures a moment of quiet imperfection: the branch floating down the river, the cricket singing its song. There is no idealized scene, but the beauty lies in the simplicity and the fleeting nature of the moment.

The Universal Appeal of Nature in Haiku

While haiku is deeply rooted in Japanese culture, the focus on nature has universal appeal. The natural world is something that all people can relate to, regardless of their background or cultural context. Haiku’s simplicity allows readers to connect with the poem on a visceral level, experiencing the beauty of nature through the poet’s eyes.

In today’s world, where many people live in urban environments and are disconnected from the rhythms of nature, haiku offers a way to reconnect with the natural world. The practice of writing and reading haiku encourages mindfulness and a deeper appreciation for the small, often unnoticed details of life. In this way, haiku serves as a bridge between the human experience and the natural world.

Haiku Examples with Nature Themes

To further illustrate how haiku is about nature, here are several examples of poems that focus on natural imagery:

Over the wintry Forest, winds howl in rage With no leaves to blow.

This haiku by Bashō captures the harshness of winter, where the wind howls through a barren forest. The absence of leaves emphasizes the desolation and coldness of the season, invoking feelings of solitude and stillness.

The light of a candle Is transferred to another candle— Spring twilight.

In this haiku by Yosa Buson, the image of a candle’s light passing to another is paired with the quiet, reflective quality of spring twilight. The simplicity of the scene evokes a sense of calm and continuity, a reminder of the interconnectedness of all things in nature.

I write, sleeping, With a fountain pen in my hand, On an autumn night.

Here, the poet’s act of writing is intertwined with the natural imagery of autumn. The fall of night and the autumn season become metaphors for introspection, memory, and the passage of time.

Conclusion

Haiku’s focus on nature is not merely a reflection of cultural or historical traditions but is also a profound artistic choice that speaks to universal human experiences. Through the lens of nature, haiku captures the fleeting beauty of life, the impermanence of existence, and the simplicity that can often be found in the most ordinary moments. By embracing the natural world, haiku allows readers to reflect on their own lives, fostering a deeper connection to the world around them. The seasonal imagery, the mindfulness, and the Zen-influenced simplicity of haiku all come together to create a form of poetry that remains timeless, resonating with readers both in Japan and around the world.

It is a naturalized plant that introduced during the Meiji period(1868-1912) and has since been feral in many places. Although much like the native species Nezumimochi, it has larger and thinner leaves, and when held up to the sun, the veins of the leaves show through.

"Honzō zufu(The botanical illustrated reference book; written in the Edo period)" mentions "Yabutsubaki" as another name for Jotei (Nezumimochi). Although we can only rely on the knowledge of experts to determine the suitability of such things, since haiku is not based on natural history, and haiku poets are not botanists, so no matter how it is resolved, it is not likely to be based solely on that. This haiku also does not seem to be interesting if it is interpreted as Nezumimochi.

Tadaima, Okaeri Ep 5 Stray Thoughts

Last week, Misaki had a huge moment of doubt before baby Hinata was born when he was worried about their daughter having to face the struggles he’s had. However, as always, Hiromu sensed it immediately and they talked about it as a team after making out. They prepared Hikari for the role, and even named baby Hinata because of Hikari associating the baby with the sun. They now have two adorable children. We left at Matsuo reacting to a comment from Hiromu that papa Fujiyoshi asked if Yuki was his mate.

Not know what babies are finding funny is so real. Masaki just chilling and reading his book is the correct response.

Love that they always treat Hikari as a full participant in conversations and accept him immediately when he joins in. It’s really cool how they consistently instill purpose and responsibility into Hikari in a way that he seems to find fun.

Then there’s the way they teach Hikari how to take care of Hinata. Hiromu can’t let Hikari feed apples to Hinata yet, but Masaki can give him a compromise of letting Hinata watch him eat them. I like that they don’t tell him that the impulse is wrong, and explain the reason why he can’t follow through on it.

Poor Hikari. I’m glad Masaki told him he doesn’t have to give all of his things to Hinata. He overworked himself and how he’s sick.

I really love that Masaki and Hiromu feel like a team when it comes to parenting.

Wow, I actually really like Hiromu’s apology for Hikari opening Masaki’s emails. It’s good to teach kids about respecting privacy and acknowledging when they’ve made mistakes.

I really like that Hiromu’s parents are putting in real effort to make up with them.

This kimono moment is very touching. There’s something really special about this show not making reconciliation for past homophobic offenses an ongoing process, and how that isn’t quick for the offended party.

I really love this show. I prefer my slice-of-life shows to have a clear drama or theme for the episode that they take care of, and Japanese shows seem to understand that best most of the time. They’re also doing a good job with contextualizing Hikari getting a little bit older and more aware of the world and his surroundings. Even in this episode we had instances of him displaying more independence and surprising his dads. I love a low stakes drama like this so much.

We got to meet Matsuo's meddlesome younger twin brothers this week, who scared Hikari and Michiru with their antics. We got to see Hikari struggle with overexuberant relatives, be protective of his sister, side with his dad against 'vanquished' foes, and appreciate that Michiru will also protect him. The twins also inquired directly about what's going on with Yuki and their brother. It seems that Yuki and elder Matsuo hadn't thought too much about what's happening here, and I love how patient everyone is being with them figuring it out. This episode was a lovely reprieve from the family's normal drama and a focus on the people they care about. As always, this is the best show most BL fans on here are not watching.

Japanese QL Corner

There is still only one JBL airing live, but thankfully it's a banger, and we are blessed with another great Japanese drama with queer themes in the meantime. This first show is on Gaga and the second is available via fan sub, and I highly recommend watching both!

In other news, The Novelist appears to be coming off Gaga soon, and I don’t yet know if it will show up anywhere else (it is no longer on Viki). If you’ve been saving it for a rainy day, I encourage you to watch it ASAP. You can also submit a comment to let Gaga know you want them to keep it!

This show is killing me softly, and its penultimate episode was excruciating in the best way. I screamed out loud when Shirasaki balked and told Hayama he wanted him to stay so he could get into his role, and I swear I could see Hayama's heart cracking in two. I have never been so upset and scared to see a sex scene start, and I was so very relieved that Hayama put a stop it before he could damage himself further. I guess he finally found his limit, and I was glad he values himself enough to say no to Shirasaki in the moment. Juxtaposing that heated scene with the sterile and choreographed sex scene for their characters drove the knife in further. And what a place to end things! It's not yet clear if anyone will be running, but I stand by my opinion that Shirasaki is the one who keeps dealing the blows, so he's the one who needs to gird his loins and finally be honest about why he's asking for these things from Hayama.

We have the privilege of watching this one thanks to the hard work of @isaksbestpillow, who has now subbed the first four episodes of this wonderful show. This drama is about a middle-aged salaryman who realizes his old school values and failure to keep pace with the changing times is ruining his relationships--and he actually cares! Through a friendship he forges with his younger gay neighbor, Daichi, Makoto sets out to "update" himself so that he can better understand and connect with his coworkers, his kpop-loving wife (Mika), his mangaka daughter (Moe), and most especially his queer and gender questioning son (Kakeru). This is a loving and sympathetic portrayal of a man who has been failed by patriarchy and fallen behind the times but who genuinely loves his family and knows he needs to do better, and the younger man with a generous heart who helps him do it. The story is funny and poignant in equal measure; for every moment where Makoto has you groaning out loud at his misogyny, toxic masculinity, and general ignorance, there is another where he brings you to tears with his sincere effort to change. And I love that Daichi is not just theoretically gay in a tokenizing kind of way; he has a boyfriend who is an actual character with a storyline of his own, and we get to see them in scenes together. I love this show and can't wait to see what happens next.
